The effect of Ti-Al content on interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. Localized melt of the substrates occurred in the joints. γ-Ni0.35Al0.30Ti0.35, NiA l3 and Ni2Al3 reaction layers formed adjacent to the substrates. Joint flaws, such as pores and cracks, made the joint density decrease and worked as the fracture source, which led to the sharp decline of joint strength. Additive Ti-Al increased joint density and strengthened the interlayer adhesion to Cf/Al. The joint flaws could be controlled by changing the Ti-Al content. When the Ti-Al content was 0.1, the joint was free of cracks with high density and reached the maximum shear strength of 24.12 MPa.展开更多

Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.展开更多

The microstructures and shapes vary with the TiB2＋Al2O3 content in the NiAl matrix. TiB2 particles take a great variety of elementary shapes such as white bars, plates, herringbones, regular cubes and cuboids. These results outline a strategy of self-assembly processes in real time to build diversified microstructures. Some TiB2 grains in sizes of 2-5μm are embeded in Al2O3 clusters, while a small number of TiB2 particles disperse in the NiAl matrix. It is believed that the higher the TiB2＋Al2O3 content is, the more the regular shapes and homogeneous distributions of TiB2 and Al2O3 will be present in the NiAl matrix.展开更多

文摘Traditionally,the construction of stable interphases relies on solvent structures dominated by aggregated anionic structures(AGG/AGG+).Nonetheless,we find that the construction of stable interphases in hightemperature environments is based on contact ion pairs(CIPs)dominated solvation structure here.In detail,in the long-chain phosphate ester-based electrolyte,the spatial site-blocking effect enables the strong solvation co-solvent ether(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether,G2)to exhibit strong ion-dipole interactions,further multicomponent competitive coordination maintaining the CIP,balancing electrode kinetics,and optimizing the high-temperature interphases.High-temperature in-situ Raman spectroscopy monitors the changes in the stable solvent structure during charge/discharge processes for the first time,and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF-SIMS)reveals the stable solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)with full-depth enrichment of the inorganic component.Benefiting from the high-temperature interfacial chemistry-dependent solvent structure,the advanced electrolyte enables stable cycling of 1.6 Ah 18650 batterie at 100-125℃and discharging with high current pulses(~1.83 A)at 150℃,which has rarely been reported so far.In addition,pin-pricking of 18650 batteries at100%state of charge(SoC)without fire or smoke and the moderate thermal runaway temperature(187℃)tested via the accelerating rate calorimetry(ARC)demonstrate the excellent safety of the optimized electrolyte.

文摘With the laser remelting of cast alloys combined with non-equilibrium liquidus projection thermodynamic calculations,a high-strength and heat-resistant Al-3Fe-2Mn alloy was designed.Incorporating Mn atoms into the metastable nanoscale Al_(6)Fe phase,occupying some lattice sites,enhances its thermal stability.Additionally,during rapid solidification of laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF),the solubility of Fe and Mn elements in the aluminum alloy increases significantly,forming a supersaturated solid solution with improved strength.This alloy demonstrates excellent processability,achieving a relative density of over 99%,and tensile strengths of 295 MPa at 200℃ and 230 MPa at 300℃.The Al-3Fe-2Mn alloy holds great potential for wide applications due to its high strength at high temperature.

文摘The launch of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project paves the way to wide adoption of DT fusion energy as future energy source.Efficient fuel cycle to minimize strategic tritium inventory proves crucial for commercially viable fusion technologies.ZrCo alloy is considered as a promising candidate for fast isotope handling.However,cycling degradation caused by hydrogen-induced disproportionation results in severe tritium trapping,thus impeding its practical application.Herein,an isostructural transition is successfully constructed with low hysterisis,ameliorated plateau flatness of pressure-composition isotherms and improved high-temperature durability for hydrogen trapping minimization.Specifically,the optimal Zr_(0.7)Hf_(0.15)Nb_(0.15)Co_(0.6)Cu_(0.15)Ni_(0.25) alloy adopts Hf-Nb and Cu-Ni as Zr and Co side doping elements,exhibiting substantial thermodynamic destabilization with nearly 90℃ reduction of delivery temperature,and significant kinetic promotion with a threefold lower energy barrier.More importantly,both hydrogen utilization and cycling retention of optimal alloy are increased by about twenty times compared with pristine alloy after 100 cycles at 500℃.Minimized disproportionation driving force from both isostructural transition and suppressed 8e hydrogen occupation realizes full potential of optimal alloy.This work demonstrates the effectiveness of combining isostructural transformation and high-temperature durability improvement to enhance the hydrogen utilization of ZrCo-based alloys and other hydrogen storage materials.

文摘Optimizing the high-temperature energy storage characteristics of energy storage dielectrics is of great significance for the development of pulsed power devices and power control systems.Selecting a polymer with a higher glass transition temperature(T_(g))as the matrix is one of the effective ways to increase the upper limit of the polymer operating temperature.However,current high-T_(g)polymers have limitations,and it is difficult to meet the demand for high-temperature energy storage dielectrics with only one polymer.For example,polyetherimide has high-energy storage efficiency,but low breakdown strength at high temperatures.Polyimide has high corona resistance,but low high-temperature energy storage efficiency.In this work,combining the advantages of two polymer,a novel high-T_(g)polymer fiber-reinforced microstructure is designed.Polyimide is designed as extremely fine fibers distributed in the composite dielectric,which will facilitate the reduction of high-temperature conductivity loss for polyimide.At the same time,due to the high-temperature resistance and corona resistance of polyimide,the high-temperature breakdown strength of the composite dielectric is enhanced.After the polyimide content with the best high-temperature energy storage characteristics is determined,molecular semiconductors(ITIC)are blended into the polyimide fibers to further improve the high-temperature efficiency.Ultimately,excellent high-temperature energy storage properties are obtained.The 0.25 vol%ITIC-polyimide/polyetherimide composite exhibits high-energy density and high discharge efficiency at 150℃(2.9 J cm^(-3),90%)and 180℃(2.16 J cm^(-3),90%).This work provides a scalable design idea for high-performance all-organic high-temperature energy storage dielectrics.

文摘Recently,rapid and cost-effective additive manufacturing solutions for lightweight aluminum alloys with excellent high-temperature mechanical properties have been increasingly in demand.In this study,we combined laser-arc hybrid additive manufacturing with solution and artificial aging treatments to achieve Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy with favorable high-temperature strength via microstructure control.Hydrogen pores became the major defect in the as-deposited and heat-treated specimens.The continuous distribution of eutectics with hard-brittle characteristics at the grain boundaries was destructed following heat treat-ment.High-densityηprecipitates were uniformly dispersed in the heat-treated Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy,whereas appeared coarsened and dissolved at 473 K,owing to the rapid diffusion of Zn and Mg.The average 0.2%yield strength(318±16 MPa)and ultimate tensile strength(362±20 MPa)at 473 K af-ter heat treatment were enhanced by approximately 58%and 51%,respectively,compared to those of the as-deposited specimen.In addition,theηprecipitates contributed to lattice distortions and strain fields,which prevented dislocation motion and increased slip deformation resistance at high temper-atures.The as-deposited specimen exhibited intergranular fracture at 473 K,with cracks preferring to propagate along the aggregated eutectics.However,crack propagation proceeded in the sections with more pores in the heat-treated specimen.Our approach may provide a valid option for achieving alu-minum alloys with excellent high-temperature mechanical properties.

文摘Al_(2)O_(3)-based eutectic ceramics are considered as promising candidates for ultra-high-temperature structural materials due to their exceptional thermal stability and mechanical properties.Nonetheless,several challenges must be overcome before they can be widely used.This paper reviews in detail the tailoring of microstructure from the aspect of process parameters,the updated knowledge gained in microstructure(crystallographic orientation,high-resolution interfacial structures)and the latest means of optimizing eutectic microstructure(seed-induced method,introducing low-energy grain boundaries and high-entropy phase).Additionally,the paper explores future techniques for the fabrication of bulk ceramic materials and effective toughening approaches.This review highlights the achievements made especially in the last 15 years,current limitations in Al_(2)O_(3)-based eutectic ceramics,and offers comprehensive insights and strategic guidance for further mechanical breakthroughs.

文摘High-temperature thin-film sensors(TFSs)often suffer from inadequate tolerance to elevated temperatures.In this study,an innovative approach is presented to fabricate in situ integrated TFSs with a core-shell structure on alloy components using coaxial multi-ink printing technique.This method replaces traditional layerby-layer(LbL) deposition and LbL sintering processes and achieves simplified one-step manufacturing.The coaxial TFS includes a conductive Pt core for conducting and sensing and a dielectric shell for electrical isolation and high-temperature protection.The coaxial Pt resistance grid demonstrates excellent high-temperature stability,with a resistance drift rate of only 0.08%·h^(-1) at 800 ℃,significantly lower than traditional Pt TFSs.By employing this method,a Pt thin-film strain gauge(TFSG) is fabricated that boasts remarkable high-temperature electromechanical properties.This effectively addresses the problem of sensitivity degradation experienced by traditional LbL Pt TFSGs when subjected to high temperatures.We demonstrate the system integration potential of the technique by printing and verifying the functionality of a long-path thinfilm resistance grid on turbine blades,which can withstand butane flame up to ~1300℃.These results showcase the potential of core-shell structure of the coaxial TFS for high-temperature applications,providing a novel approach to develop high-performance TFS beyond traditional multilayer structure.

文摘SiBCN ceramic aerogel is an ideal potential candidate for ultra-high temperature thermal insulation due to its unique microscopic pore structure combined with the excellent thermal stability of SiBCN ce-ramic.Here,reduced graphene oxide(rGO)modified SiBCN aerogels(rGO/SiBCN)were prepared through solvothermal,freeze-casting and pyrolysis,and the dimension of the aerogel is up toΦ130 mm×28 mm.The density of the rGO/SiBCN aerogel is as low as 0.024 g/cm^(3) and the microstructural regulation is achieved by controlling the rGO content in the aerogel.The hierarchical cellular structure endows the aerogel with a high specific surface area(148.6 m^(2)/g)and low thermal conductivity(0.057 W m^(-1) K^(-1)).The 10 mm-thick sample exhibits excellent thermal insulation and ablation resistance,as evidenced by its ability to reduce the temperature from~1100℃to~180℃under the intense heat of a butane flame.Moreover,benefiting from the ultrahigh-temperature stability of SiBCN,the rGO/SiBCN aerogel exhibits good thermal stability up to 1200℃in argon and short-oxidation resistance at 800℃in air.There-fore,the rGO/SiBCN aerogel with superior overall performance could expand its practical application in high-temperature thermal insulation under extreme environments.

文摘Ceramic matrix composites(CMC)are widely utilized in high-temperature components of aero-engines for load-bearing and electromagnetic stealth synergy due to their superior toughening and designable electromagnetic properties.However,the design of ultra-broadband electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorp-tion at thin thicknesses(d<10 mm)has been difficult and focused,especially the design of metama-terial.Inspired by 3D printing technology and the structural characteristic of 2D CMC,this study inge-niously devised and proposed a novel carbon fiber gradient periodic structure in Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites to enhance the ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at a wide temperature range.By optimizing the geometric structure parameters,the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites with the carbon fiber gradient periodic structure have exhibited exceptional ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at elevated tempera-tures and excellent mechanical performance.The composites have attained a minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of-30 dB and a high absorption efficiency of more than 84%,ranging from 9.3 to 40 GHz at a thickness of 9 mm.Due to the temperature insensitivity of discrete periodic structures,the composites can adapt to high temperatures up to 700℃.Additionally,compared to the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites,the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites with carbon fiber gradient peri-odic structure have significantly increased to 398 MPa and 15.6 MPa m1/2,respectively.This work breaks through the limitation of the design and fabrication of 3D periodic structures in CMC,creating a novel oxide-CMC with ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at a wide temperature range and enhanced mechanical properties.

文摘MAX phase ceramics is a large family of nanolaminate carbides and nitrides,which integrates the advantages of both metals and ceramics,in general,the distinct chemical inertness of ceramics and excellent physical properties like metals.Meanwhile,the rich chemical and structural diversity of the MAXs endows them with broad space for property regulation.Especially,a much higher self-lubricity,as well as wear resistance,than that of traditional alloys and ceramics,has been observed in MAXs at elevated temperatures in recent decades,which manifests a great application potential and sparks tremendous research interest.Aiming at establishing a correlation among structure,chemical composition,working conditions,and the tribological behaviors of MAXs,this work overviews the recent progress in their high-temperature(HT)tribological properties,accompanied by advances in synthesis and structure analysis.HT tribological-specific behaviors,including the stress responses and damage mechanism,oxidation mechanism,and wear mechanism,are discussed.Whereafter,the tribological behaviors along with factors related to the tribological working conditions are discussed.Accordingly,outlooks of MAX phase ceramics for future HT solid lubricants are given based on the optimization of present mechanical properties and processing technologies.

文摘With vigorous developments in nanotechnology,the elaborate regulation of microstructure shows attractive potential in the design of electromagnetic wave absorbers.Herein,a hierarchical porous structure and composite heterogeneous interface are constructed successfully to optimize the electromagnetic loss capacity.The macro–micro-synergistic graphene aerogel formed by the ice template‑assisted 3D printing strategy is cut by silicon carbide nanowires(SiC_(nws))grown in situ,while boron nitride(BN)interfacial structure is introduced on graphene nanoplates.The unique composite structure forces multiple scattering of incident EMWs,ensuring the combined effects of interfacial polarization,conduction networks,and magnetic-dielectric synergy.Therefore,the as-prepared composites present a minimum reflection loss value of−37.8 dB and a wide effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 9.2 GHz(from 8.8 to 18.0 GHz)at 2.5 mm.Besides,relying on the intrinsic high-temperature resistance of SiC_(nws) and BN,the EAB also remains above 5.0 GHz after annealing in air environment at 600℃ for 10 h.

文摘Cf/Al composites and TiAl alloys were joined by laser ignited self-propagating high-temperature synthesis（SHS） with Ni-Al-Ti interlayer. The effect of Ti-Al content on interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. Localized melt of the substrates occurred in the joints. γ-Ni0.35Al0.30Ti0.35, NiA l3 and Ni2Al3 reaction layers formed adjacent to the substrates. Joint flaws, such as pores and cracks, made the joint density decrease and worked as the fracture source, which led to the sharp decline of joint strength. Additive Ti-Al increased joint density and strengthened the interlayer adhesion to Cf/Al. The joint flaws could be controlled by changing the Ti-Al content. When the Ti-Al content was 0.1, the joint was free of cracks with high density and reached the maximum shear strength of 24.12 MPa.

文摘The well-densified Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy was fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion technique. Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.

文摘The microstructures and properties of the Zn-Cu-Bi-Sn(ZCBS) high-temperature solders with various Sn contents were studied using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results indicate that the increase of Sn content can both decrease the melting temperature and melting range of ZCBS solders and it can also effectively improve the wettability on Cu substrate.The shear strength of solder joints reaches a maximum value with the Sn addition of 5%(mass fraction),which is attributed to the formation of refined β-Sn and primary ε-CuZn_5 phases in η-Zn matrix.However,when the content of Sn exceeds 5%,the shear strength decreases due to the formation of coarse β-Sn phase,which is net-shaped presented at the grain boundary.

文摘（TiB2＋Al2O3）/NiAl composites were synthesized by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis, and their phase compositions, microstructures and evolution modes were studied. The microstructures and shapes vary with the TiB2＋Al2O3 content in the NiAl matrix. TiB2 particles take a great variety of elementary shapes such as white bars, plates, herringbones, regular cubes and cuboids. These results outline a strategy of self-assembly processes in real time to build diversified microstructures. Some TiB2 grains in sizes of 2-5μm are embeded in Al2O3 clusters, while a small number of TiB2 particles disperse in the NiAl matrix. It is believed that the higher the TiB2＋Al2O3 content is, the more the regular shapes and homogeneous distributions of TiB2 and Al2O3 will be present in the NiAl matrix.

文摘Currently,the Al_(2)O_(3)content in the high-alumina slag systems within blast furnaces is generally limited to 16wt%–18.5wt%,making it challenging to overcome this limitation.Unlike most studies that concentrated on managing the MgO/Al_(2)O_(3)ratio or basicity,this paper explored the effect of equimolar substitution of MgO for CaO on the viscosity and structure of a high-alumina CaO-MgO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)slag system,providing theoretical guidance and data to facilitate the application of high-alumina ores.The results revealed that the viscosity first decreased and then increased with higher MgO substitution,reaching a minimum at 15mol%MgO concentration.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)results found that the depths of the troughs representing[SiO_(4)]tetrahedra,[AlO_(4)]tetrahedra,and Si-O-Al bending became progressively deeper with increased MgO substitution.Deconvolution of the Raman spectra showed that the average number of bridging oxygens per Si atom and the X_(Q^(3))/X_(Q^(2))(X_(Q^(i))is the molar fraction of Q^(i) unit,and i is the number of bridging oxygens in a[SiO_(4)]tetrahedral unit)ratio increased from 2.30 and 1.02 to 2.52 and 2.14,respectively,indicating a progressive polymerization of the silicate structure.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)results highlighted that non-bridging oxygen content decreased from 77.97mol% to 63.41mol% with increasing MgO concentration,whereas bridging oxygen and free oxygen contents increased.Structural analysis demonstrated a gradual increase in the polymerization degree of the tetrahedral structure with the increase in MgO substitution.However,bond strength is another important factor affecting the slag viscosity.The occurrence of a viscosity minimum can be attributed to the complex evolution of bond strengths of non-bridging oxygens generated during depolymerization of the[SiO_(4)]and[AlO_(4)]tetrahedral structures by CaO and MgO.
